Does reimbursement include all course costs, including textbooks and other required materials?

NATCEP costs cover the following:

• Any portion of the training coursework;
• Fees for textbooks or other required course materials;
• Registering individuals on the nurse aide registry; and
• Administration of the competency examinations.

These costs are then reimbursed as part of the nursing home provider’s daily Medicaid rate.Read More
